Clutch Alignment Tool

[Egon]

I bought this on E Bay but was on Motobins website yesterday and the picture they have of this is for the K series.
Have I bought the right one
Will be needing it soon for putting Mart P's bike back together.

it looks like it will do the job. as long as the smallest diameter fits into the hole where the push rod fits and the bigger diameter fits through the hole with the splines on you shouldnt have a problem
Chances are they will all look very similar for this type of dry clutch.
The one i had for my VW Beelte was almost the same

What a puzzleing question.

Your bike isn't a K series, it's an R series, so why would you expect the pictures to be the same ?.

The clutches are different, as the clutches are even different berween the 1100 and 1150 and also need different tools.

This is the one that Motobins say is for all twins

And this for K series.

The dilemma was which one have I actually got.
The company that sent it say it is the correct one for the R series.
Is Motobins wrong

I fink your R series one is for Airhead R's not the oilys

I've never needed one on oilheads. Just do the bolts up enough to allow plate to be lightly gripped, fit the gearbox and then turn the engine and torque the bolts through the starter motor hole, mark the first bolt with a marker pen and bring the bolts to the correct torque in three rotations. because the plate isn't held too tight the gearbox will centre the plate.

Thanks for the replies guys

But dont you do need to centralise the diaphagm spring initially.I used the clutch push rod with tape wrapped around it to centralise the spring plate and then tightening the 6 bolts evenly to hold the spring in place but allow the clutch friction plate to move as you mount the gearbox,then,as above.
